Rumor Mill:Lindsay Lohan turns to Baldwin brothers for help (please please be a reality show)... Is Madonna through with Jesus Luz?... Bruce Willis and girlfriend to marry this weekend?... Tom Sizemore investigated for cell phone heist... Mariah Carey could be Hugh Hefner's new girl next door... Mark Wahlberg and girlfriend expecting fourth child?

That ski helmet law they're talking about in Quebec appears doomed to fail, if for no other reason than that the helmets they're proposing look just like the one Grace Jones is wearing in that picture.

Fiddy cent is about what I'd pay to see a new Stallone move.

"T.R. Knight involved in minor car crash" - who wants to bet that six months from now poor George will *still* be moping around the scene of the accident?

James Franco? Oh. Right. Francisco Franco is still dead. "Franco lacks 'the wisdom and perspective such a speaker is meant to provide the graduates.'"

Nothing against him, but was Tobey McGuire busy? "Wisdom" and "perspective" are fine, but another quality of a decent commencement speaker is, well, the ability to speak. UCLA could do worse than Franco.

Mariah and Hef. Talk about a vision of love.

Better Lindsay Lohan talks to the Baldwin brothers than the Jackson brothers (though it'd be fun to see a "LiLo and Tito" headline).

Liz, nice Madonna song reference with the "Take a bow" props for byoolin.

Would it kill the "21 other megawatt stars, billionaires, actresses, philanthropists and businesswomen" who met the First Lady at the White House to display a little sense of decorum?

* "There was Sheryl Crow in black jeans" -- PSST, Sheryl. At least put on some dress pants, for Pete's sake. You're in the WHITE HOUSE.

* "[A]ctress and choreographer Debbie Allen, in a white baseball cap" -- PEOPLE. A baseball cap? Not enough time to do your hair before you went to the WHITE HOUSE? I can only hope Debbie tapped her yardstick for those schoolgirls and said, "Fame costs -- and here's where you start paying."

* "[T]alking with actress Fran Drescher" -- OK, stop right there and join me in a chorus of "one of these things just doesn't belong here." Fran?! I can only hope she was the role model for the "don't do this" portion of the event.

Actually, Fran Drescher is a knowledgable, articulate and respected advocate on issues of concern to cancer patients, having had ovarian cancer herself (and a difficult time even getting a correct diagnosis). She's not to be confused with her "Nanny" character Fran Fine, and can in fact speak without any of that nasal Queens accent whenever she wants to (although it does seem to pay her bills).

Maybe Sheryl Crow wore jeans so she could help Michelle dig the new vegetable garden. She wore the platforms so she could see Michelle. But, yeah, she could afford dress pants after taking Federal bailout money to perform for the Northern Trust party. Only used one sheet of toilet paper, though...

Oh, and Liz, did you determine whether or not that really was Christopher Walken's Twitter feed or a hoax?
I read through some of the posts/tweets and it seemed as though it could be real...but there are some awfully clever people out there--some living in West Virginia whose name rhymes with duelin'

Pretty funny octomom video. Suprised I could watch because normally you-tube is blocked at my work. Warning, it starts right away.

Don't play their game, Tom. I'm sure it's a contest among the paps to win points for whomever can make a celeb flip the bird, swear in public, cry, and bonus if the celeb punches them or runs over them with their car.

OK, Nosy, I'll give you that Fran is more than the Nanny. But to me she's still that woman who joined George Clooney in railing against the paparazzi when Princess Diana died and made the story of her death about themselves instead.

When I saw the announcement that yesterday was Crazy Hat Day, I thought participation was limited to my kids' school. But it seems Grace Jones, Debbie Allen and Gloria Estefan all wanted to celebrate too.

I finally figured out what Grace Jones' hat reminded me of: one of those things you put into a hole to help stabilize screws when hanging heavy objects. (Yes, they have a real name, but it's escaping me at the moment.) My thought is that she found one backstage after they assembled the set and thought, "That would make an excellent hat!".

I hope Grace removes the hat before she starts jumping on the bed at her luxury hotel.

Forget about the Mariah Carey living next door to Hugh Hefner. What makes me queasy is that "Carey and Cannon were keen to move away from New York in a bid to focus on their respective acting careers in Los Angeles."

Guys, there are all manner of wall attachment hardware. For some examples, see

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_anchor.

For other examples, take a walk through the hardware section of your local hardware store, BLowes or Home Despot.

However, there is only so much weight that a section of wallboard can support. Do yourself a favor and spend $15 or so to get a stud finder that can scan for metal or wooden studs, and can also detect electrical lines.

I think the reason that the number of celebrity twitterers is on the rise is because, aside from the career consideration marketing factor, many of them are tempermentally attention hos (ex. John Mayer)and probably would be loathe to pass up any opportunity for exhibitionalism.

Add to that that it is, in most cases, not effort they are expending themselves but that of a hired minion.

Their memoirs are ghost-written (with notable exceptions such as Christopoher Plummer's stunningly wonderful book,the blogs on their websites are ghost-written (ex. Katie Couric) so, therefore, we can expect that the twitterers will also, no doubt, be mostly ghost writers.
